Not meaning to argue with you olorin, but Odin was a very complicated character, both good AND evil, he had a much darker side to him, just as he gives he takes, he does not heitate to kill if it suits his plans and he obeys no law but his own. No one can trust him completely. The necromancer in the hobbit was inspired by these dark qualities of Odin. i think that Tolkien uses the GOOD side of Odin to create Gandalf, and the BAD side to create Sauron.And anyway, Sauron wasn't always bad.
